Collecting the fruit

Location of the Seed Hive.

The following article or section contains guides. The strategies shown are just suggestions.

See also: Scornet Maestro strategy.

The Seed Hive is dropped from the sky upon defeating the Scornet Maestro, for whatever reason. Since Louie and the fruit are the most important objects, send them first before harvesting the Scornet Maestro and the Scornets. If Winged Pikmin are to carry the Seed Hive, make sure the Arachnode near base is taken out, as well as the Flighty Joustmite.

Collecting the treasure

Hero's Hideaway

There is a Seed Hive behind a corner near the center of Sublevel 3 of the Frozen Inferno. It is guarded by an Arctic Cannon Larva, which should be defeated before attempting to collect it. To collect this treasure, you must throw 12 Pikmin at it.

Giant's Hearth

There is a Seed Hive inside of a Bug-Eyed Crawmad near the top right of the map. To collect this treasure, you must defeat the Bug-Eyed Crawmad, then throw 12 Blue Pikmin at it, or 12 Pikmin if you have already constructed the clay valve and deactivated the sprinkler.

Notes

Brittany's notes

US version

“This was a bit of an emotional roller coaster for us. We were lured in by the sweet scent, but when we cut it open, it was infested with huge insects! Alph fainted, poor thing. Then I realized that the "insects" were seeds! Yay! Alph will wake up, eventually.”

European version

“This was a bit of an emotional roller-coaster for us. We were lured in by the sweet scent, but when we cut it open, it was infested with huge insects! Alph fainted, poor thing. Then I realized that the "Insects" were actually seeds! Hooray! Alph will wake up, eventually.”
